This takes place directly after Vince is Back, after Logan and Michael have gotten cleaned up and showered.

This chapter was inspired by the moment in Walk-a-thon when Quinn and Logan finally come to terms with the fact that they're dating. I thought it was really sweet that Quinn made the suggestion that they clear were something, but let Logan decide what they were. I really felt like this was appropriate because of Logan's history has a serial dater. He's had lots of dates but never dated someone long term, which I think makes the fact that he suggested that they were dating even more special.

End rant. On with the story!

There's a knock on the door and Michael slips on his shirt, before yelling at whoever is on the other side to come in. He is greeted moments later by Quinn, Zoey, and James all smiling lightly.

"Hey," James greets as they walk into the room, "we weren't sure if you guys had finished showering." He says, explaining why he and the girls had knocked instead of just walking in.

Logan looks up from underneath the towel he was using to dry his hair and grins at them, his gaze lingering on Quinn a second longer than normal. He sees James shoot him a questioning look, but he doesn't say anything about it just then.

"What's up?" Michael asks, picking up his clackers, only to have both Logan and James reach out and snatch them from him before he can begin to play with them. He pouts, but he's used to this sort of thing from both his roommates, so he doesn't say much about it.

"We just came to see how you guys were." Zoey tells him as she and Quinn sit down on the couch.

"We know you've been trying to get Vince back and, well, seeing as that didn't end exactly how you expected it too…" Quinn trails off as she starts to giggle.

Logan and Michael both make faces at her, but Zoey and James are also snickering so they know it's not really worth arguing over. They'd lose even if they'd wanted to, since it would be three against one and it was pretty ironic that they had gotten caught in there own trap.

"It's fine." Michael says finally. "Vince seems like a pretty cool guy. Besides, Vince might have beat us up, but at least he didn't shove us in a basketball hop like he did to Del Figgalo." He snickers slightly, Mark has never really been anyone's favorite person, well except for Quinn, but even she seems less than fond of him lately.

Quinn rolls her eyes and sighs in annoyance. "I still say he deserved it."

"Yeah," Logan nods, before he even realizes he's spoken, "since Quinn and Vince are friends now, it's just like Vince beat him up for what he did to Quinn."

Everyone turns to give him identical quizzical looks, except for Quinn who is shaking her head frantically at him. This time, though, Logan doesn't need to make an excuse. It's something he would have thought whether he was dating Quinn of not.

"Well it's true," he defends. "In fact, we should probably go beat him up again. You don't make a girl cry. And you especially don't lie to her."

He sees the looks his friends are giving him (the "who are you and what have you done with Logan" looks) and he knows what Michael is about to say before his friend even opens is mouth.

"Uh, no offence dude, but you don't have a lot of room to talk."

Logan feels himself tense at the accusation. If there is one thing he knows about himself it's that he is nothing like Mark Del Figgalo. For one, he has no intentions of letting go of someone as amazing as Quinn (he sometimes can't believe it took him over two years to realize how amazing she really was). He can't tell this particular truth to his friends though, so instead he settles for the other one.

"That is not true!" He can tell his friends are taken aback by how harsh his tone is, but he doesn't regret it. He does, however, continue speaking in a less angry manner (those anger management classes really are helping, as much as he hates them.

"I may not exactly be Mr. Commitment all the time, but I never pretend to want anything more than a date and some making out if I don't want it." He narrows his eyes at them and he can see recognition dawning on all their faces (except Quinn who's just giving him an adorable confused face). "And every girl at PCA knows that."

Michael and Zoey both nod, but Logan's not finished yet. "If I want to date someone, I'll ask them." (he adds that part in mostly for Quinn, because it must be really awkward for her to sit there and listen to them discuss her boyfriend's (old) dating habits). He crosses his arms over his chest and manages to look indignant. "And I have never lied to girl about my intentions." (he's not sure if Del Figgalo telling Quinn he wanted to take a break, when he really just wanted to date another girl actually counts as lying, but for him it does).

Michael nods in acknowledgement. "Yeah, you're right." He punches Logan lightly in the shoulder. "Sorry dude."

Logan grins and punches him back. "It's all good."

Michael's phone goes off and a grin slides over his face as he reads it. "Time to go meet Lil' Lisa. I'll see you guys later." He grabs his backpack and waves at them before running out the door.

James looks down at his own watch. "We should probably head out too.," he says to Zoey. "We're supposed to meet Lola and Vince for our double date in ten minutes."

Zoey looks at his watch and her eyes widen as she realizes how late it is. "Oh my gosh, we're going to be late!"

There is silence after the door closes behind them and Logan and Quinn just kind of look at each other for a moment before he makes his way over to the couch and takes Zoey's recently vacated seat.

"Look," He starts, wanting to make sure she understands that this thing they share is nothing like his past dating experiences, "don't think that this is like-"

She cuts him off with a kiss and when she pulls back her eyes are sparkling in a way that he's pretty sure he'll never get tired of. "I know you've been saying it for years," she grins playfully, "but you really are amazing."

He smirks (because duh, he's been saying that since day one), but it soon softens into a real smile. "So are you."

She beams at him and he's about to ask her if she wants to make out when he realizes that, instead, he'd rather take this rare moment of them being alone without fear of interruption to sit with his arm around her, like a normal couple, and just talk about anything and everything (they do still kiss a little and Logan is beginning to suspect that he will never get tired of this wonderful girl).

The next day, Mark Del Figgalo finds himself covered in mustard and croutons with absolutely no clue as to how or why he is so.

Behind a bush, Logan grins in satisfaction. (karma is totally on his side this time. It didn't work against Vince because Vince didn't deserve it, but he was right all along, Del Figgalo definitely deserved it.)

There's chapter two!

Let me know what you guys think. Chapter three is written and will be up next week, right on schedule.
